“Irish women don’t like foreign women”

Dyr

Look like lads the women can be right two faced bitches with each other, and the women are also hypersensitive

In this instance it creates the perfect storm.

People who think they're brilliant by posting a provocative statement regularly **** it up in their zealous haste by not bothering to proof-read. Resultant gibberish kinda... takes the edge off. :pac:

Sorry about that

Can confirm. It's not just foreign women we dont like, it's foreign men too because they arent good enough for us. Oh and irish men, we hate them too due to us all being stuck up bitches who are also ugly and fat. Fact. It's a wonder any of us manage to get into relationships at all really, we're that bad.

Seriously though, I had noticed a slight reduction in the women bashing threads. Good to see they're back.

Brilliant.

I heard it once from husband of foreign woman. I never felt it myself, Irish women were always friendly towards me. However it is harder to make friends with locals who have established friendship groups. If you land up in city where you know no one you will more likely find friends among people who are in the same position.

I've heard Irish women make horrible sweeping generalisations about how all foreign women are rude, cold and unfriendly, and how they are obsessed with their weight and terrified to eat anything in case they gain weight and their boyfriends no longer find them attractive.

But I've also heard foreign women make horrible sweeping generalisations about how all Irish women are loud, fat and lazy.

So I guess each side is as bad as the other.

I've heard all kinds of people say sh1t things about all kinds of people. Not particularly zoned into which sex in each case.

And some people just hate women full stop and are always trying to bitch about them on brain dead repetitive threads such as these.

Some people even go out if their way to register to post on these threads as these.

Doesn't the mind boggle?

The only people I've ever heard slag off men who are attracted to east Asian women (and to be fair, I haven't heard it much)... are other men.

You seem to know a lot of the forum is about after 2 posts.?

I haven't experienced Irish women not liking foreign women...but I have experienced Irish mammies specifically not liking their sons foreign girlfriends.

I think that's just down to different cultures and Irish mammies not feeling they are being respected in the same way they would be by an Irish girl though.

In my experience generally though, Irish women get along just as well with foreign women, as Irish men do with foreign men.

My mum's main concern was if I settled down with one and had kids she could up and leave with them back to deepest darkest Russia.

Don't know, I wouldn't say so.

Looking at my missus (non native) she gets along very well with her colleagues but she doesn't usually go out with them, doesn't like drinking, arriving late at night or just general chit chat, she has an introvert personality, I'm the opposite.
If we would've lived closer to city centre I'm sure it would've been different.
We're all the same breed like in the end.

My advice to you is smile and enjoy life, don't spend all your free time on internet forums spreading bitterness, it's tragic.

You need to take your own advice.

Whinging about women wont do you any good long term.

I’ve met a handful of guys who are very fixated on women from various Asian countries. Like, it goes beyond a preference to almost fetishising them. I gotta say, I find it weird.

Hmmm never thought of that before but yeah.

Never got either TBH. Seems my willie is a racist. :eek:

The only time I hear comment on men with Asian girls is when there is clearly a 30 year or so wage gap but sure if they're both happy with the situation let them at it.

Married a foreigner. The Irish/ English were just hard work and head wreckers.
Never had a row with the in-laws. Never had a one to one conversation with them either

Not in my experience. Other guys will joke about it, but it's rarely a strong criticism. I had a variety of encounters with Irish women saying nasty things in bars regarding my Chinese girlfriend the last time I brought a gf home (and no, I didn't know the women).

I doubt any Irish woman is feeling jealous about me being with an Asian woman. However, I've noticed over the years, that for some, there's a need to pass judgement. Towards the guy rather than the Asian woman.. although my ex did come crying out of the toilets after some women were insulting to her.

Personally, I'd say there are muppets everywhere. Most Irish people couldn't give a toss who you were with, regardless of their nationality or ethnic background.

Weird? I feel the same about guys who have a fixed preference for white women.

And yes, I have a very strong preference for Asian women. I'm still attracted to other ethnic groups.. but, honestly, Chinese/Japanese women catch my attention much quicker than other nationalities.

perrito caliente

Yeah, if I'm honest I do tend to look down on guys with Asian girlfriends, and I am a man. I can't help but feel they are deviant, even weak in some way, but of course not all of them are.

I, for one, feel that immigration particularly from South America (and to a lesser extent eastern Europe) has really improved the options for Irish men personally.

Did we do the bit where the arrival of Polish women caused Irish women to pull up their standards yet?

You know, it’s interesting. A decade ago, this thread would have been absolutely hopping. That’s probably partly down to the declining user-base of boards.ie but there are probably other factors too. People from other countries leaving during the recession, maybe a maturation of the boards user-base. It’s interesting to observe the changing zeitgeist.

Yes, weird. This was beyond preference and was a fixation. No interest in anyone outside that. What you describe here diverges from what I’m talking about.

And yes, a prohibitive fixation on white women would be as odd but I’ve personally never come across it. Genuinely.

But anyway, if you find a fixation on white women weird as you’ve said here, surely you can’t object to me feeling the same about fixation on various Asian women?

I read that as a 'masturbation of the boards user base.' Like a parliament of crows or a shrewdness of apes it works!

My ex was eastern European, every female friend/ family member hated her

Wasn't because she wasn't irish, more than likely because she was a ****. I did see that women in general felt insecure around her though and somewhat threatened by her extrovert personality and looks.

She had looks and a personality that seemed to rub irish women up the wrong way - so op , while not 100% accurate - it is somewhat a thing

They tend to be very robotic and abrupt which probably comes across as rude, so there could be something in it. There’s very little warmth in an eastern european woman.

LOL, silly jellus wimmins.

Uh huh.

What’s more likely is, if she was that disliked, well, she’s the common denominator. It’s doubtful that all those apparent jellus wimmins had never been around a good-looking woman before either. And, to be honest, in peak Irish men-Eastern European couple times in Ireland, I found many men really exaggerated the looks of their partner. Bodies would often be fantastic, faces tended to be much more variable. I’ll probably be written off as envious. If so, bring it. I’ve friends and acquaintances who are beautiful, truly, and there’s no hate from me.
